e-SPECS Selected by DLR Group as Enterprise
Specification Solution
Portland, Maine - October 27, 2008 - InterSpec Inc., the industry
leading provider of BIM integrated construction specification software
and services, today announced DLR Group has selected its patented
e-SPECS solutions as the firm's Building Information Modeling (BIM)
Specification Solution. DLR Group is an integrated design firm providing
architecture, engineering, planning, and interior design for corporate,
higher education, justice, K-12 education and sports clients. Each
of the firm's 15 offices across the country has embraced BIM and uses
it to enhance the design services available to clients.
InterSpec's patented e-SPECS software solutions automate the preparation
of construction specifications and selection of products and materials
that are incorporated into commercial construction projects. InterSpec's
e-SPECS products are used by thousands of architects, engineers and
construction professionals to help them keep their construction drawings
and specifications in sync while reducing the overall cost of development.
"Firms such as DLR Group have a wealth of data to manage across
the enterprise to ensure the highest quality products are produced
efficiently," said Gilles Letourneau, CTO of InterSpec. "Using e-SPECS
enables these firms to centralize and maintain intellectual property
for use across the firm. Whether that data is contractual language,
owner requirements, product preferences or lessons learned, e-SPECS
is leading the way in providing the efficiency and intelligence to
integrate firm preferences with the leading design applications. We're
proud to provide the e-SPECS integration and coordination with Autodesk
Revit based BIM applications or standalone specification solutions
to leading firms such as DLR Group."
Robert Watkins, CTO of DLR Group, explains "Part of our Integrated
Design Practice at DLR Group is to use technology and applications
across the enterprise to provide a seamless and efficient design process.
Our Autodesk Revit BIM design documents can now be synchronized with
our construction specifications using e-SPECS. We've been able to
prove on a pilot project the e-SPECS and Revit integration helps achieve
the highest level of product quality and consistency possible. DLR
Group has a variety of designs, owners, and regional preferences to
manage. Centralizing these preferences for use across the enterprise
will help to reduce our maintenance effort while improving the ease
of accessing the information. e-SPECS allows us to create smart checklists
and mappings to include the information needed both with Revit BIM
integration and as a standalone spec system."
